NATURZARPLATA: WE CHARGE IN MONEY, WE PAY IN NATURE

In the made comments letter of Ministry of Labor accurately specified that at first a salary to the worker should add in grivnyax (in a monetary measuring instrument) and only after that (the added salary a personal income tax minus, contributions to PF and OGSS funds), it is possible to pay a part of the sum which is due to payment on hands "in kind" (production of own production or other TMTs if they aren’t forbidden as payment by the Inventory No. 244).

Let’s note that as payment by nature – this exception of the general rule of monetary payment, a pravomeryonost of such actions at each concrete enterprise is necessary for fixing in the collective agreement. Also don’t forget that since 10.03.06 (in connection with changes in Law Art. 23 About compensation) the size naturvypla-you shouldn’t exceed 30 % (instead of 50 % – as earlier) from the salary added to the worker. So verify with the Law of norm of the koldogovor and if necessary introduce amendments.

Let’s remind that earlier and GNAU repeatedly (see the letter from 20.04.06 of No. 4513/6/17-0716 ("Balans-Agro", 2006, No. 10, page 10)) insisted that the salary to the worker should be charged in grivnyax, and already "pure" sums can be paid somehow – money, the goods etc. And in this case the personal income tax should estimate from sum­my added in grivnyax salaries, without multiplying it by "natural" factor by rules of item 3.4 of the Law No. 889.

Such here unanimity in this question of Ministry of Labor and GNAU. We join them and we.
